As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Massachusetts since 2006, I have worked with hundreds of children/teens/adults with a range of strengths, experiences, and challenges. My training and experience has focused on delivering evidence-based treatments in school and summer programs serving children struggling with mental health challenges. My approach draws from all of the interventions that I have been trained in including: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Multi-Systemic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, and many more.
During treatment with me you can expect me to first work on developing a relationship with you and understanding your goals. I expect to learn from our sessions, but also from observations from others including parents and teachers. We will then work together on your motivation to achieve your goals, and on developing skills, behaviors, and routines that will lead to improved health and wellness. Developing confidence in maintaining changes and making future changes is the last stage of our work together.
